No response, so I'll ask again. What's happening with the openbazaar XMR port?

I've heard or seen anything in the last 2 weeks on here about that project.

Atrides has a private channel to inform people who contributed. I guess when there is enough to say, he will post something here.

what about anonymous contributers (which he knows there were)? Why must it be done in a private channel...? Seems odd to disappear off into private after getting the funds. What purpose does that serve?

As far as the private channel, he said up front that was how communication would happen.

Quite interesting.I recall when I was but a wee lad, in the mid 1980's, I went to my father's place of employment. It was there that I saw a paper shredder and I looked over the shredded documents. I thought, and commented to my father, that the documents could in fact still be pieced together by someone who was bound and determined to do so.I did not imagine that computers would one day be employed to complete the task.

As far as the private channel, he said up front that was how communication would happen.

I invited all backers, but only 6 responded.Private channel was created to discuss some things and because these guys have an influence on ideas and process.I can also add anonymous backer, just send me PM/email with transaction.

hooray!

I think in general peeps that were watching the thread just want to see that things are good... public relations and all I guess.

On the CCD chat, @User893x7Z wrote "I feel like I am sitting on a huge rocket"

I followed up with a conceit, that you may like:

A rocket explodes, has a very high delta-v and exhausts fast. Good to leave the atmosphere, but hard to go much farther than, say, the Moon.On the contrary, Monero is more like a ion thruster: low delta-v but you can start interstellar travels"

Enough with the expressions, we should be thankful for the small guys that step in and want to donate the projects. We have to do/fund this together, so making fun of them is out of order for me.

I, for one, am grateful for all the donations I got. It's not like it covers the work done (at the actual price anyway). But what matters is that every donation is a token of appreciation for the small contribution I made to the community. THAT FEELS GOOD. Its one of the great things about our little corner on bitcointalk.

Is any work being done on the official GUI atm, or are all efforts being directed to LMDB implementation?

Yes - we're remerging/updating daemonize, working on RPC -> IPC (via 0MQ), beginning the refactor/extrapolation to libraries, and working on non-64-bit comparability. This is all directly related to the GUI effort

Very nice. Really looking forward to trying it out. Hope there isn't too long of a wait left.
